The Most Demanding Sport

Bison and Gunner just give up on voting for your favorite sport. I could never understand how people liked to wrestle. In no other sport does quitting go through your mind everyday. I DREADED practice. Walking into the wrestling room was like willingly going in for your torture. Especially when your team never wins and theres people quitting and fights all the time.

Forcing yourself not to eat at thanksgiving, christmas, new years is insane. It consumes your whole life and is the farthest thing from being enjoyable. Theres no comparison between wrestling and football.

wrestling is most demanding both ways ive been playing football and wrestling for six years and football you have time to think and you have a break every 10 seconds or so given you must battle the heat the wieght of your pads there are no wieght classes and more than one man in most cases are coming after you at once. but i consider wrestling as a six minute sprint while maxing out on bench. you are useing everymuscle in your body and moving as fast as possible. not to mention if you have to take time to think your dead every move has to be memorized o the point that when you are ina particular situation it is instinct to hit a move or roll or whatever. i would have to say it also takes more ballnce than any other sport.

PS cappey-tan dean, cooridination and balance are two slightly different things. in the off season i play basketball about 4 days a week with bishop mccourt 6th man and i can hang but yes it is halarious to get a grappler on a hard surface

Wow gunner you are so funny. Why dont you stop posting and taking up space. Yes we know you like to "bust on our chops" but we dont have to hear it in every post. I give you a 10 for your persistence at making attempts at being funny.

Wrestling is demanding, but I wouldn't say it is that much more demanding physically and mentally than football. If you have ever woke up on a Saturday morning after a tough Friday night game against a team like Forest Hills, Bedford, or Central Cambria you know what I am talking about. You just don't feel like getting up, you are sore until the next Wednesday. Wrestling is tough because it is 1on1 you trying to basically enflict as much pain on the other person as possible, it's simple as that.

Mentally, as a QB I know football can be very very tough. You need to know what everyone out there has to do without even thinking twice. You need to be able to know what the defense will do before the snap of the ball, and call audibles, protections, routes, etc. at the line. It is far from easy. Wrestling the toughest part is the weight. I myself know that I could never do that. I eat breakfast and am hungry again by 3rd period, I just have to eat. I'm sure it wouldn't be as tough if I had been doing it since I was 5 years old though...

I can say that wrestling takes the least amount of coordination though, have you ever seen wrestlers try to play basketball in gym class? Just playin guys, but it is a sight to see...
